Height and reach CAN play to an advantage but only for a boxer who knows how to make use of it. A boxer who does not utilise their height and reach properly to keep an opponent at the end of their jab will in fact be at a disadvantage for various reasons given an opponent the same weight. Also longer boxers have a more challenging balance to master.
Weight however is an advantage no matter what way the pie is cut, even a bummy boxer can be dangerous to a much better one due to a weight advantage.
Skills are obviously most important as in any sport.
